enough

It is no coincidence that I read this on the Bible app verse for today

Isaiah 40:31

But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength.

They will fly high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint

and this from Brave Girls

Dear Gorgeous
Girl,

Chances are, you are needing some rest right now...after all,
being brave is hard and exhausting work.

Would it be so bad it you took a little break and let yourself
recharge? Of course it wouldn't be a bad thing....to the
contrary, it would be a VERY GOOD thing for you to do,
especially if you can't even remember the last time you let
yourself rest for a little while.

Choose a good, uplifting book and let yourself read it without
interruption, take a hot bath....get under the covers for an
afternoon nap. You've got to recharge or you will burn
out...it's just a fact of life. This doesn't mean you are weak,
it means you are human...and little breaks here and there are an
essential part of a productive life.

Enjoy some time to yourself...you deserve it. You are loved.

xoxo

and this at the word for today.

'To know whether something is right or wrong for you,

you need only ask one question:

'How will this affect my confidence before God?

I have been weary of late. The reminder that winter is a time to hunker down and hold fast during the storm. It is grey and there is lots of washing to cycle through, that never seems to dry. The nights are cold and all I want to do is snuggle up with a good book or watch a movie by the fire. The boys have continued to switch up a gear in what they eat. I feel like I am always in the kitchen fixing another meal to fill the hungry tums. What follows of course are all the dishes. So today was a time for me to rest. To slow life down. I stayed home and took each moment that I had to do the next thing that I wanted to do.
